Another reason for voter ID

Perhaps you could explain to us how a photo-ID could be used to stop it...?

:Snooze

I'm still waiting. Keep deflecting, and dodging. I'll be right here. C'mon, Fred. Turn on that laserlike focus and tell us how a photo-ID would stop the scenario you posited....

(Of course, we all know it's not just "Photo-ID"...It's the list of all of the photo-ID's that will no longer be accepted: Gun permit: OK; Veteran ID: not acceptable; Student ID: not acceptable...Birth Certificate: not acceptable in some states without a certified copy of a marriage license--[for women-only], ad nauseum)

But you knew that...

I have given more than one valid example of how photo ID would stop a illegal vote being cast, especially in a state like Colorado that has same day registration.
Luckily you live in Colorado with mail in elections so you can go steal the ballots of your neighbors and "help them" vote the right way.

Gee, but we weren't talking about Colorado...were we, Fred....

So, I'll ask you again for the 5th time...(and keep asking until you answer the question...)

Tell that to the WWII veteran ... Too bad he "doesn't have a life."

Hey, as with everything else from the sociopath Randroids, "I've got mine...Screw you if you don't."

But you knew that...

Oops...Speaking of enjoying watching the courts roll it back--The TeaPublicans lose another one:

Wisconsin Voter ID Law Rejected By Federal Judge

MILWAUKEE (AP) — A federal judge in Milwaukee has struck down Wisconsin's voter Identification law, saying it unfairly burdens poor and minority voters.

U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman issued his long-awaited decision Tuesday. It invalidates Wisconsin's law.

Wisconsin's law would have required voters to show a state-issued photo ID at the polls. Supporters said it would cut down on voter fraud and boost public confidence in the integrity of the election process.

And another one bites the dust....

Judge strikes down Arkansas voter ID law as unconstitutional

A judge has struck down Arkansas’s voter ID law, ruling that it violates the right to vote guaranteed in the state’s constitution.

In an opinion released Thursday afternoon, Circuit Court Judge Timothy Fox wrote that the law, passed last year, “is unconstitutional as it adds additional qualifications for voters” beyond what’s in the constitution, and “impairs the right of suffrage” contained in the constitution.

The voter ID measure requires that voters present a limited range of government-approved forms of identification. Out-of-state college IDs, for instance, are not allowed. Voters without ID must cast provisional ballots, then go to the county clerk to affirm that they’re too “indigent” to afford ID. And unlike some other states’ ID laws, this one does nothing to help voters obtain identification, such as providing transportation to government offices.

Dang... That's TWO....

(Oh, and North Dakota's abortion-ban law was declared unconstitutional too...)

Since many states, including Colorado, use mail in ballots, how does photo id affect those ballots? I have not been to a poll in years. Do I have to mail in a copy of my photo id? How can you be sure that it is really me sending the copy?

How about our military personnel serving overseas? Are you going to strip their right to vote since they will not be able to show photo ids at the polls? Absentee ballots, how can you ensure that the individual who sends that ballot in is the same individual who received it?

Good points about mail-in ballots and soldiers voting. But what I don't understand is you need ID to register to vote. Do Dem voters forget it on the way to the polls? And if the right to vote is guaranteed by the Constitution I shouldn't need photo ID to buy a gun right?
